Abstract

(1) QUALITATIVE analysis still forms the beginning of all instruction in chemistry, but in its modern form it no longer takes the guise of the familiar tables, supported by the test-tube rack and the shelf of reagents. Indeed, at the hands of the more advanced apostles of physical chemistry it has been altered beyond all recognition, and it is from this point of view that we must criticise the new contribution of Prof. Stieglitz to the literature. The method of instruction advocated by him aims at developing the critical searching mind of the professional productive chemist. The students taking his course are supposed to have been prepared in general chemistry on physico-chemical lines.
